Elizabeth II, in full Elizabeth Alexandra Mary , (conceived April 21, 1926, London, Eng. - kicked the bucket Sept. 8, 2022, Balmoral Palace, Aberdeenshire, Scot.), Sovereign of the Assembled Realm from 1952 to 2022. She became main beneficiary possible when her uncle, Edward VIII, abandoned and her dad became ruler as George VI. In 1947 she wedded her far off cousin Philip, duke of Edinburgh (1921-2021), with whom she had four youngsters, including Charles, who succeeded her in 2022. She became sovereign on her father's passing in 1952. Progressively mindful of the cutting edge job of the government, she leaned toward straightforwardness in court life and took an educated interest in government business. During the 1990s the government was pained by the profoundly announced conjugal troubles of two of the sovereign's children and the passing of Diana, princess of Ribs . In 2002 the sovereign's mom and sister kicked the bucket in the span of two months of one another. Elizabeth turned into the longest-prevailing ruler in English history in 2015, and she celebrated 70 years on the privileged position with a "Platinum Celebration" in 2022.
